Johnny Manziel will continue his comeback north of the border in the Canadian Football League.

Manziel announced Saturday on Twitter that he has decided to sign his contract with the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats, who own the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback's rights.

The Tiger-Cats announced later Saturday that Manziel signed a two-year deal.

"It's going to be a learning curve," Manziel said in an interview with Barstool Sports. "I think it'll be fun. It's definitely not the NFL, but there have been guys who've gone up there and have come back. A lot more [at] the quarterback position that have done it back in the day than they have done it more recently, but still there's been guys who've recently come back and forth all the time."
